I mean that's why I joined the mailing list! I really don't want another newsgroup to get spammed from, the obtuse oldies we can cover here would never warrent a group but certainly could fill an archive or a FAQ in this group. As machines get more rare, their sales value goes up. BUT WE DON'T WANT TO SELL! I am afraid we will be swamped with offers of CASH (such a hard thing to say NO to 8-) by clueless yuppie-puppies who have NO IDEA how to keep the machines running and won't want to so LOOK clueless and will never visit again after getting their prize. Then after the *fad* dies down, they will just chuck them in the trash and they will be gone forever. That and all the Spam that will fly thru just makes me say NO! Leave it in a mailing list. Advertise the list - but please - no more newsgroups. Bill! How many people on the list now? They maybe only represent 10% of the people who love these clunkers but at least we are all family! BC
